Following the formal business, elections and discussion at our Annual General Meeting on Sunday 24th September, the Friends are putting on a free screening of My Childhood. We are delighted to bring you a rare opportunity to watch this classic on a cinema screen.

My Childhood is a 45 minute film directed by Bill Douglas, made in 1972. Filmed in 16mm, it draws on his experiences as an 8 year old boy in a Scottish mining village as World War 2 comes to an end. My Childhood reflects the austerity of his everyday life through its use of location, non-professional actors and powerful black and white photography. “A harsh, unsentimental, but also intensely felt and moving portrait of childhood”.

We look forward to you joining us to watch this treat from the comfortable seats of the recently opened Hyde Park Picture House Screen 2.
